#32: Hint 3: Put a basket on his head so he won't see you rob his house.

#31: Hint 2: A big prison full of mysteries.

Here are some hints for my next few games:

36.  It appears that a lot of people have been leaving WoW this year to play this MMO.

35.  This SNES entry is more like the arcade version than the NES entry was.

34.  This first game in the series was based on a classical piece of literature but not European literature.

#35: Super Punch Out!!

#34Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV
guessed byMachina
platformSwitch
release year2020
developer/publisherKoei Tecmo
genreturn-based strategy
linksWikipedia

Romance of the Three Kingdoms was a series I wanted to try for some time, but it is a bit difficult. Not everything is localized or it released on platforms I don't own. But the most recent title XIV was ported to Switch *and* got an english localization, so there was my chance. And I enjoyed my experience.

Romance (I won't repeat this long name every time) is a strategic title. You build up your principality in the stormy times of the Revolution of the Yellow Turbans or Cao Cao's invasions to become the most powerful entity in ancient China. To achieve that you have to hire officers, historical figures that work for you in fulfilling a lot of tasks: from developing the cities and commerce, to lead armies into battle. This game keeps you for the long run.

It is a lot of fun to use strategies like cutting the supply lines of attacking troups, which throws them into disarray or to set fire to a forest with an enemy army in it. Choosing the right person for each task is important, as their abilities are different, and even with the same troop strength, two different leaders can lead to very different outcomes. The game surely has more focus on military option, but still a lot is to do to grow and develop your cities and areas, and it is necessary as this is bolstering your troops.

The game has a lot of content between different historic and fictive scenarios and in each scenario you can choose between the factions you want to lead with different starting positions.

More hints:

#31: Transferring the soul of an animal into a child born without one will not end well. Anyone surprised? Killing a god may the cause of it all.

#30: A-Plus, Akebi, Ramen, S-Chan and just Frank. Deliver the cleaned laundry.

#29: The rooster of war! The tree of love!

#28: Climbing, swimming, running, flying, digging... and freezing.

Second set of hints for a few games.

#28

  • The main character is now an instructor at a military school.
  • The 3rd game in this sub-series, and overall the 8th game in this particular storyline.

#27

  • Deviating from the course of destiny.
  • Deliberately changes the original story.

#26

  • The origin of the dragon and the mad dog.
  • One of the many things you get to do is real-estate management.

36.  Correct!

34.  A good guess, but that is not the one I'm looking for.

35. Contra 3 or Super Double Dragon

35.  Both decent guesses, but neither is the game that I'm looking for.
